Can you see how believing the devil\u2019s lies often end up in a trap? Conversely, believing truth results in freedom! Ask Him if there are any areas where He wants to replace lies with truth for you):\u3000<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Not knowing is shameful\u201d: When I was 10 years old, kids at school were laughing about a sexual joke, and I had no idea what it was about. I felt ashamed that I didn\u2019t understand the joke. I felt that my innocence and naivety was shameful. I never wanted to feel that way again, and I purposed to learn and experience what I could. I thought it was better to know everything than not to know. The irony is that in high school I became the first among my friends to start experiencing things, and I ended up knowing and experiencing more shameful things than most people.<\/li><li>\u201cGuys\u2019 Perception of Girls\u2019 Physical Appearance = Value\u201d: As an 11-year old girl, I received a compliment from a young guy, \u201cNice legs, babe\u201d, and it began a belief that how guys perceived my appearance was connected to my value. Subsequently, when I was being sexually desired by guys, I felt so valued; it became a drug that I became reliant on. I thought that sexual attention meant I had value, and I thought sex meant &#8216;he loves me&#8217;. I sought out sexual attention and sex because the gradual effect of this lie was that without sexual attention, I thought I had no value. Relying on people resulted in my sense of value going from 100 to 0 within the same day. Little by little, God showed me my value.<\/li><li>\u201cAfter you lose your virginity, anything you do after that doesn\u2019t matter\u201d: When I was 15, once I had sex once, I thought my subsequent sexual choices didn\u2019t really matter. I believed that there was no value in turning back since I already lost my virginity. After my identity as a \u201cnon-virgin\u201d took root, starting a year after my first heartbreak, it became so easy to say yes to guy #2, #3, etc. I didn\u2019t understand the concept of getting further and further into captivity.<\/li><li>I thought sex could be casual and that the impact on me would also be \u2018casual\u2019. But treating sex casually meant I allowed guys to treat me casually. And being used by guys led me to gradually despise them, and treat them casually and objectify and use them in the same way. Objectification caused me to begin to see guys as ways to get what I wanted. I used them emotionally &#8211; I&#8217;d call exes on the phone for the only reason of using their attention to feel better about whatever was making me feel bad. I used them for money, for rides &#8211; I felt like the entire male gender owed me in some way &#8211; because I hadn&#8217;t forgiven the ones that had used me and hurt me. I used them sexually &#8211; used sex in a way it was never designed to be used &#8211; for myself, rather than for two people who have united to be one. Treating sex as casual and inconsequential and unimportant results in people treating one another as unimportant.<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"veu_socialSet veu_socialSet-position-after veu_contentAddSection\"><script>window.twttr=(function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],t=window.twttr||{};if(d.getElementById(id))return t;js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);t._e=[];t.ready=function(f){t._e.push(f);};return t;}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\"));<\/script><ul><li class=\"sb_facebook sb_icon\"><a class=\"sb_icon_inner\" href=\"\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?src=bm&u=https%3A%2F%2Fold2024.onfire.jp%2Fen%2Fpureheartchallenge%2F%25ef%25bc%2596%25e6%2597%25a5%25e7%259b%25ae%25e3%2583%25bb%25e8%25a7%25a3%25e6%2594%25be%2F&amp;t=OnfireJapan\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'FBwindow','width=650,height=450,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');return false;\"><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_fb icon_sns\"><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">Facebook<\/span><span class=\"veu_count_sns_fb\"><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"sb_x_twitter sb_icon\"><a class=\"sb_icon_inner\" href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fold2024.onfire.jp%2Fen%2Fpureheartchallenge%2F%25ef%25bc%2596%25e6%2597%25a5%25e7%259b%25ae%25e3%2583%25bb%25e8%25a7%25a3%25e6%2594%25be%2F&amp;text=OnfireJapan\" target=\"_blank\" ><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_x_twitter icon_sns\"><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"sb_bluesky sb_icon\"><a class=\"sb_icon_inner\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/intent\/compose?text=OnfireJapan%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fold2024.onfire.jp%2Fen%2Fpureheartchallenge%2F%25ef%25bc%2596%25e6%2597%25a5%25e7%259b%25ae%25e3%2583%25bb%25e8%25a7%25a3%25e6%2594%25be%2F\" target=\"_blank\" ><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_bluesky icon_sns\"><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">Bluesky<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"sb_hatena sb_icon\"><a class=\"sb_icon_inner\" href=\"\/\/b.hatena.ne.jp\/add?mode=confirm&url=https%3A%2F%2Fold2024.onfire.jp%2Fen%2Fpureheartchallenge%2F%25ef%25bc%2596%25e6%2597%25a5%25e7%259b%25ae%25e3%2583%25bb%25e8%25a7%25a3%25e6%2594%25be%2F&amp;title=OnfireJapan\" target=\"_blank\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'Hatenawindow','width=650,height=450,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');return false;\"><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_hatena icon_sns\"><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">Hatena<\/span><span class=\"veu_count_sns_hb\"><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"sb_pocket sb_icon\"><a class=\"sb_icon_inner\"  href=\"\/\/getpocket.com\/edit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fold2024.onfire.jp%2Fen%2Fpureheartchallenge%2F%25ef%25bc%2596%25e6%2597%25a5%25e7%259b%25ae%25e3%2583%25bb%25e8%25a7%25a3%25e6%2594%25be%2F&title=OnfireJapan\" target=\"_blank\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'Pokcetwindow','width=650,height=450,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes');return false;\"><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_pocket icon_sns\"><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">Pocket<\/span><span class=\"veu_count_sns_pocket\"><\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"sb_copy sb_icon\"><button class=\"copy-button sb_icon_inner\"data-clipboard-text=\"OnfireJapan https:\/\/old2024.onfire.jp\/en\/pureheartchallenge\/%ef%bc%96%e6%97%a5%e7%9b%ae%e3%83%bb%e8%a7%a3%e6%94%be\/\"><span class=\"vk_icon_w_r_sns_copy icon_sns\"><i class=\"fas fa-copy\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"sns_txt\">Copy<\/span><\/button><\/li><\/ul><\/div><!-- [ \/.socialSet ] -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some lies that I believed regarding sex and sexuality (the Holy Spirit helped me see these things over a period of time.
